i totally failed at wearing color this week, mostly due to my hatred of wrinkles...and of ironing. i think tuesday and wednesday's outfits were my favorites this week. thursday i wore leggings to work for the first time and realized that no one really cares about this (except for the other two girls that also wear not-pants to work). anyway, week thirteen was my last full week of summer work, so after next wednesday i've put in my time as a grownup for the year. yesssss! then i'm back to thinking land (some people call it grad school) where there will be less heels, but more boots!

this blazer and i became fast friends on a trip to california back in may. now, every morning it tries to convince me that i can wear whatever silly tank top i want because it will pull the outfit together for me. so today i decided to wear jeans on a tuesday, which turned out to be a great call since i had to climb up a ladder to take some photos. so yeah, blazer and i are bff.

i was tagged by natalie of pocket of presh to answer her eight questions, so here it goes:

1. What movie best describes your style?

i like certain outfits from movies, but haven't ever fallen for an entire one. so really bits and pieces from roman holiday, you've got mail, sabrina, etc.2. Where do you find inspiration for your outfits?

other bloggers, wardrobe remix on flickr, passersby, strangers, friends, etc. 3. How do you feel about thrift store shopping?

my sister is a pretty serious thrifter since she has a short stack (some people call them toddlers) who always seems to be growing out of clothes. lately, i've been viewing it as a way to experiment without much financial commitment. i don't ever take it very seriously--i never look through the whole store or even a whole rack. my sister and i pull a lot of things to show to each other because they remind us of a person or something we used to own.

4. What's the next item of clothing you really want to buy?

the perfect white summer dress.

5. What's your favorite color to wear?

gray.

6. If you could shop in any city in the world, what city would you choose?

omihachiman!

7. Do you have an item of clothing from the past that you really regret wearing?

i had a pair of shoes in middle school that lit up. yeah, i'm thinking that's a little bit old for that sort of thing.

8. Which is more important to you when shoe shopping, style or comfort?

style, but i end up wearing my flats more often.
